Circuit/System Description
The control module has 2 internal 5-volt reference busses called 5-volt reference 1 and 5-volt reference 2. Each reference bus provides 5-volt reference circuits for more than one sensor. Therefore, a fault condition on one 5-volt reference circuit will affect the other 5-volt reference circuits connected to that reference bus. The control module monitors the voltage on the 5-volt reference busses.
The 5-volt reference 1 bus provides 5 volts to the following sensors:
| • | The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor |
| • | The fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor |
| • | The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve |
The 5-volt reference 2 bus provides 5 volts to the air conditioning (A/C) refrigerant pressure sensor.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | DTCs P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, P0605, P0606, P0607, P060D, P062F, and P2610 are not set. |
| • | The ignition is ON. |
| • | The ignition voltage is more than 9.5 volts. |
| • | DTCs P0641 and P0651 run continuously when the above conditions are met. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The control module detects a voltage out of tolerance condition on the 5-volt reference 1 or 2 bus for more than 0.5 second.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails. |
| • | The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail. |
| • | A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic. |
| • | Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool. |

Circuit/System Verification
P0641
Observe the MAP sensor voltage parameter with a scan tool with the ignition ON and the engine OFF. The scan tool should display 3.6-4.8 volts for a normally operating system.
P0651
With the ignition ON and the engine OFF, observe the A/C Refrigerant Pressure-A/C High Side Pressure parameter with a scan tool. The scan tool should display 0.2-4.9 volt or 9-453 psi for a normally operating system.
Circuit/System Testing
Important:
• Additional DTCs will set when disconnecting the components. • A short to voltage on the signal circuit of certain components may cause this DTC to set.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of all appropriate sensors for the applicable DTC.
- Ignition ON, measure for 4.8-5.2 volts between one of the 5-volt reference circuits and ground.
- Connect each component associated with the 5-volt reference circuit, one at a time, while monitoring the voltage. The voltage should not change more than 1 volt.
| ⇒ | If the voltage is less than the specified value, test for a short to ground on all the 5-volt reference circuits. If all circuits test normal, replace the control module. |
| ⇒ | If the voltage is greater than the specified value, test for a short to voltage on all the 5-volt reference circuits, or the signal circuit, for each component associated with the appropriate 5-volt reference circuit. If all circuits test normal, replace the control module. |
| ⇒ | If the voltage display changes more than the specified value when a component is connected, replace the component. |
Repair Instructions
Important: Always perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
